MIRROR: OUTER REAR VIEW MIRROR: INSPECTION

INSPECTION

1. INSPECT OUTER REAR VIEW MIRROR ASSEMBLY LH





(a) Apply battery voltage and check the operation of the mirror.
OK:





If the result is not as specified, replace the mirror assembly.





(b) For each position: Disconnect the battery, set the mirror position by hand, connect the battery, and check the retractable mirror's movement.
OK:





- Disconnect and reconnect the battery between each mirror position check.
- The mirror position cannot be changed manually when the battery is connected. To change the mirror position manually, the battery must be disconnected first.
If the result is not as specified, replace the mirror assembly.
(c) Check the mirror position sensor.




(1) Apply battery and dry cell battery voltage to the terminals as shown in the table below.
(2) Measure the voltage while the mirror moves between the fully downward and fully upward positions.
Standard voltage:






If the result is not as specified, replace the mirror assembly.




(3) Measure the voltage while the mirror moves between the fully turned to the left and fully turned to the right positions.
Standard voltage:






If the result is not as specified, replace the mirror assembly.





(d) Check the mirror heater.
(1) Measure the resistance between terminals 4 and 12 of the connector.
Standard resistance:
3.6 to 4.8 Ohms at 25°C (75°F)
(2) Apply battery voltage and check the operation of the mirror heater.
OK:





HINT: It will take a short time for the mirror to become warm.

If the result is not as specified, replace the mirror assembly.
